Failla. Oh Failla. I do not recall how originally I came across this "boutique" winery on the Silverado Trail, but there is no doubt that I am glad that I did. Founded by uber-winemaker Ehren Jordan, this might be the protocol-typical small-winery-gone-wild. A bit of color in the glass, suggesting I need to get to the other two bottles quickly. and aromas of oak, lanolin, vanilla, and lemon rind. The palate is, well, delectable, with ample fruit, depth, weight, and complexity. Close to a whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

Served to a group of 5 and not one liked it. I thought it was okay, but not worth the price. Definitely tasted the oak coming through almost wood like. Fruit was there, but just not enough to offset all the oak.

This has aged into an excellent Chard. Pale gold, a burst of sweet fruit followed by acidity that adds tartness. Negligible oak. Very enjoyable.
